You can be embarrassed about wanted attention too. And if you want to go by the words like that, since it includes jealousy, it would include any and all cases where someone is jealous of someone because of looks. And since it says suspicion as well, also any case where someone thinks the character may have gotten something at least partially because her looks rather than actual merits. Or someone who didn't get the role of the wicked witch because she wasn't ugly enough.

In other words, any time anything even remotely negative happens because of someone's good looks. And I think that's watering out the trope into meaningless.

I don't think so. The Girls Bravo is when he dresses up as a girl, and not normally a source of problems. Maicchingu Machiko Sensei has someone who isn't really affected by her beauty as much as what happens to her. The last one has someone who's cute, which is the equivalent of bringing up someone's baby photos and them being embarrassed about it.

I've seen that Girls Bravo example and I'd definitely place it So Beautiful, It's a Curse. I don't think whatever problem a character's attractiveness is giving them has to be be a normal occurrence. As for the other two, if they don't have anything to do with a character's attractiveness they can be removed.

The character in question, Elissandre DeVille, is an illustrated lady too modest to take her clothes off and put her tattoos on display (one of several acts at Dark's Den of Deformity that are less-than-sensible business decisions). It's definitely not a case of So Beautiful, It's a Curse.

That sounds like a good example of the difference between the cursed one and embarrassed one. If it's her own personal sense of modesty you can't say that there's any curse on her because of her beauty.
